RASPBERRIES
Redwing
Everbearing
A great companion for Heritage in that it grows in the same manner and
yet produces a heavy crop two weeks earlier than Heritage. The large
soft fruit yield an excellent flavor for all uses. Developed in
Minnesota, these plants are winter hardy while still tolerating hot
humid southern summers well. The canes grow vigorously and are stiff,
needing little to no support. Mow all canes down to 2-3 inches in the winter to save pruning and prevent diseases.
Ripens in early-mid July through the fall. Zones 4-8.
Jewell
Black
A
real winner of a raspberry with its large highly flavorful fruit produced in abundance.
The trailing plants are the most disease resistant of the black raspberries,
winter hardy and vigorous. Ripens in July.
Zones 5-8
Dormanred
A star in raspberry hybrids. Trailing
vines are vigorous and highly productive in a wide range of soils.
Developing fruit are covered for protection. When ripe, the covering opens
to show clusters of large, firm, shiny berries. Withstands severe heat and
drought. Zones 5-9a.
Heritage Everbearing
Easily one of the most easily grown and
heaviest producers for the home gardeners. The
sweet firm red fruit are produced on current year's growth. The main crop starts to ripen in late July
through the fall, usually producing until freezing weather. The canes grow vigorously and are stiff, needing little to
no support. Mow all canes down to 2-3 inches in the winter to save pruning and prevent diseases. Zones
4-8.
Latham
This raspberry is well known by our northern customers as being
very winter hardy as well as having disease resistance. The large berries ripen in late
spring-early summer to a deep red with wonderful flavor. Great for eating fresh, freezing, jams
and jellies. Zones 3-8a.
